Bar Stool Open

Saturday, February 24, 2018 at 10 AM

Golf clubs and day-drinking: what a perfect combination. One of Erie's best-known winter sports is back and celebrating its 20th year. So break out the fine china for another year of fundraising for people with cerebral palsy via the organization Meca (which, despite the common misconception, is not an acronym, nor a portmanteau). Beginning at 10 a.m., the Barstool Open is an elaborate bar crawl where teams of four putt on specially made courses, each at a different downtown bar. Each team has a uniform, and while a majority of those uniforms consist of a custom printed t-shirt, some get much more elaborate. That can pay off, since there are prizes for the best-dressed team, as well as the team with the best score, and the highest pledge raisers. — Nick Warren
